Channel Description:

We recently started hiding descriptions in the category drop-down for TL1 users and above. I wonder if we could apply this to some other visuals in Discourse. The first that came to mind is the NEW indicator, which is pretty strong:

I see discussion about a font size theme. Is there one? I can’t find it if there is. My selection of the correct keywords in searches stinks lately.

Absent that, what are the best up to date topics for adding code to change the font size?

Am I understand this right? You can change the base code and all fonts get changed in proportion to the base font size or . . . if you want to change font size for a particular area, you would add code specific for that area?

My application authenticates users agains auth0. Once authenticated, whenever the user visits the discourse page, I expect the user to be logged in silently without having to re-enter credentials (using the credentials from the initial login to my application).

Has anyone tackled this scenario?

Currently i have an Auth0 rule that upon authentication re-directs to discourse via the /sso/ path, passing the sso credentials from Auth0. This logs the user in, or creates the discourse account and then logs user in for a new discourse user.
But I want to achieve this without the Auth0 redirect so the experience to the user is seamless and he/she is already logged in when deciding to visit the discourse page.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
The same issue has been raised here, but there was no solutions proposed:

I just imported from MyBB to discourse. Old forum had many BBcode into it. During import I set the environment value INPUT=1. Even after this the BBcode is not converted into Markdown. Please tell me how do I convert it into markdown.

I 'm trying to configure Facebook SIGNUP & LOGIN but it is showing errors. I added with one fb id, it was showing error first since I registered for this forum. Then suddenly started working. Now again started showing same errors. Then I configured with another fb id but still same error is coming. I do not know what is issue. it should be working once configured. I have screen shot of the error. I have added full information in the FB FORM.

A category has a defined allowed tag group.
When you create a new topic within this category and create a new tag, this tag is unassigned to any group. This is a contradiction, because an unassigned tag isn’t allowed in our category.
Shouldn’t a new tag be assigned to an allowed group by default?

I am trying to import a MyBB forum with many posts. Everything is imported using the import script along with those posts which are not approved by admins. This also added a lots of spam posts into the migrated forum. Since a lot of posts are spam, its not possible to manually find and delete the spam posts.

I can reset the development install and import again if any of the users are kind enough to tell me how to import only approved posts from mybb forum.

I think I understand the purpose of adding rel="nofollow tags to links in user posts: it’s basically telling search engines “this link is not endorsed by this website” in order to make spamming (or rather spamexing) less attractive. So it makes sense to do that on any forum.

But discourse allows me to exclude certain domains from that policy using the exclude rel nofollow domains site setting. I can also turn it off all together by unticking the add rel nofollow to user content setting.

But I’m wondering: why would I want to turn nofollow off at all? Is it just to help search engines distinguish between good and bad links (I guess that’s why TL3 users are exempt from nofollow by default) or is there any benefit for my forum? Which domains have you exempted (except your own)?

Can anyone reproduce? Or is there a fix that we could implement on our side? (other than defining images with absolute URLs, which we could do moving forward but what about the articles already published)

I followed the standard installation guide: setting up a new droplet on DigitalOcean, unpacking the Discourse image there, linking it up to our SparkPost mailer and so on. Everything works perfectly - kudos to the team for such a painless process! - and I can access the new site via the IP but not via its intended subdomain. I previously added subdomains to our site by setting up A records on Cloudflare pointing to the IP of the server, and having Apache virtual hosts on the server. This new droplet however doesn’t appear to be using Apache virtual hosts, and simply creating the A record on Cloudflare with the droplet IP doesn’t do anything - Cloudflare gives a 521 Webserver Down / connection refused error. What should I be doing?

Something I like to do is write tutorials / guides on how to do things. As part of the process I may include a lot of screenshot’s with markup (I currently use macOS preview), to give a visual representation of what I’m talking about.

It would be really cool and a huge time saver in this use case if there was a built in tool for annotating images (Arrows, Rectangles, Numbers etc…)

Im not sure the best method of implementing this (I’m new, don’t understand all the workflow / features yet). In an ideal world, I would see my image in the preview and when hovering over the image in the preview I would see a ‘Markup’ button to allow me to Markup the image.

I created a few mockups to try and visualise what I am saying. Unfortunately, being a new user I can only submit 1 image per post, so I have had to separate the posts for each image. If a moderator wants to merge them all into the original post, that would be good.

Please help! I have tried everything for email. I have completely reset my CPANEL host, I have tried every single port, I have tried every single option, simply nothing works. Currently, I am receiving “Job exception: execution expired”. This is very frustrating, because earlier I had received a separate error saying that the domain did not match the certificate. I can log in to the same email with the same credentials on outlook or another client, but it simple wont work for discourse! Please help!

When I assign a member to a custom group, they don’t always display the specified “Default title for all users in this group”

On some occasions it works. On other occasions, the member has retained “Regular” as their title, despite:
a) the option to automatically set this group as primary group being selected &
b) the “default title for all users in this group” being specified.

The group flair seems to be assigned more reliably, but the title is inconsistent, forcing me to manually change the individuals title. Is this a known issue?
